Description
Traveling the world, trying to meet interesting people, learn as much as possible, & hopefully do some good along the way.
I've have been traveling for the past 5yrs and have helped out on numerous projects. They have mostly been sustainable projects dealing with permaculture, upsycling, food waste, and community building.
I have met amazing people that I've shared wonderful experiences with. I've also learned and developed many skills along the way. I hope to start my own project someday.
Have returned to Canada until things are a bit more stable. Would like to travel and visit a few different projects over the Spring and Summer.

Had a great, but short time with a lovely family. Plenty to do and stay busy, from the jobs, exploring the area, and spending time with the family and all the yachters that came by. I hope to see everyone again, maybe somewhere else in the world as they travel around on the boat. We'll play some more tamul.

Chris was a pleasure to have on the ranch. Relaxed demeanor and easy going personality made intergrading with the family easy. Enjoyed listening to his stories from his years of travelling.

It's hard not to have a great experience in the woods of Andalucía. Surrounded by nature with nothing but greenery and animals. The work was usualy gardening and some maintenance and repairs, but nothing overly heavy. All the other volunteers were respectful and responsible so we shared the work equally and got along great. Lots of good laughs… read more

I was fortunate enough to have found myself on this oasis during the chaos of COVID 19, what was meant to be 2 weeks ended up to be 2 months. It was an interesting situation to be in, but a lot better off than most. There is no shortage of jobs to be done, so be prepared to work, it's no holiday. But there is quite a bit to learn if one is… read more

It's an amazing spot. Quite the trip to get out there, but when you do it's worth it. Up in the clouds on a big pice of land. The people were amazing, even with the language barrier they were very welcoming. Had no electricity for a few days, but we managed. A lot of interesting projects going on.

I had an amazing time here, it was my first stop & first interaction with the Taiwanese. The family was very welcoming & included us in Everything. The home was more than I would expect, everything we needed, work was what you would expect for a farm, but down time was very enjoyable. The town itself is quiet, but there is plenty to do there.

I was here for a week & had a great time. It's always good to find a quiet spot away from the big cities. To live simply & do some work everyday. That's exactly what i found at Herbana. The family & workers were great, really made me feel comfortable & a part of the group.
